“I felt like I was 5 years old,” the singer said on SiriusXM’s “Hits 1 in Hollywood” on Friday of the comedian turning her away on a red carpet. “I was instantly like, ‘Oh, f–k me.’ I, like, somehow ended up in my own mini-episode of ‘Seinfeld’ for like five seconds.”

Last month, Kesha spotted Seinfeld on the red carpet for the National Night of Laughter and Song event at the Kennedy Center and ran up and asked him for a hug. The comic awkwardly replied, “No thanks,” but Kesha kept trying. After a third attempt, she walked away and Seinfeld commented, “I don’t know who that was.”

Kesha told the radio station that she was a super fan of the sitcom and used to bring every episode on DVD with her wherever she went, so she should have known what was going to happen.

“He’s just not a huggy guy, that’s fine,” she said. “But as soon as he didn’t hug me, I was like, ‘Oh, this is going to be everywhere.'”

Seinfeld later said of the run-in, “I don’t hug a total stranger. I have to meet someone, say hello, I gotta start somewhere.”

However painfully awkward the moment was, it hasn’t deterred her from asking other people for hugs.

“I had a moment where I was thinking to myself, ‘Wow, maybe I should stop trying to hug everyone and attack them,’ and then I was like, ‘F–k that, no. I like hugging. Hugging is magical. Hugging is beautiful,'” the 30-year-old singer said.

“My idol in life, Bob Dylan, agreed to meet up with me because we were playing in the same festival and I was so scared because I had just got hug-denied,” she said, “I was a little hug-traumatized. I walked up and just kind of like stood there and smiled and he just opened his beautiful arms and gave me the most wonderful, healing, Bob Dylan hug … and I just could care less about anything else.”
